The document discusses how the artist "Professor Brown" is represented in a music magazine to appeal to the target audience. Several photos in the magazine portray the artist as rebellious and cool through his clothing and body language. Photos on the cover, contents page, and double page spread show him leaning against walls in an urban setting, looking relaxed and laid back to give the impression of a typical rapper and position him as successful in that genre. The goal is to get male readers to idolize the artist and relate to him as a young rapper so they enjoy reading about his success.

2.  I have represented my artist,
"Professor Brown" (Pro B) as being a
rebellious, cheeky bad boy in the
music industry. Firstly the clothes
he is wearing gives this impression
as he is wearing a baseball
jacket, black jeans, black and white
high tops and a white snapback.
These clothes present this idea to
the readers as they make him look
like a typical rapper, and
stereotypical rappers like to
represent themselves as being
rebellious and cool. In addition to
this the black and white colour
scheme of his clothes creates
connotations of cool and also
power, which relates to Professor
Brown's fame and success.

3.  On the cover the photo of him has
him have a serious face with a
slight smile making him look
cheeky as well as rebellious. This
links to how he is still a teenager
although he is a rapper and also in
the article when he talks about him
just being a normal person. The
photo on the contents page is a
location shot with Pro B leaning
against a brick wall, representing
him as being an urban, down to
earth character, with links to the
genre of he magazine and also the
target audience as Pro B is similar
to the primary audience who read
RnB magazines. The photo on the
double page spread is similar to
this as well. On the double page
spread he is leaning against the
wall with one of his legs bent
against it. This makes him look laid
back and relaxed which links to the
connotation of cool, which is how
he has been represented.

4.  On the second double page spread there is a faded photo
of him standing with his back to the reader and both
hands up swearing. This displays him again as being
rebellious and also shows his confidence and his pride.
There is also a close up photo which differs from the other
ones, as although he is making direct eye contact like the
other photos he is smiling, which contrasts to the photos
where he has a serious face. An image of the model
smiling presents not only him but the magazine as a whole
as being welcoming, and the reader feels drawn to it.
I have tried to represent him as a successful artist so that
it would relate to the Uses and Gratifications theory
by forming a personal relationship with the reader as male
readers would idolize him. This is emphasised by also
trying to display him as being a young teenager who is
associated with the genre of Rap, which the audience could
also relate to. On the front cover and contents page I have
put the names of other successful music artists within the
same genre so that my artist can be associated with them,
emphasising his success as a music artist, which the
reader would enjoy reading about which is why I have put
it in my magazine.
